I dunno, not necessarily troll material. This whole stingy/we're-donating-more-than-you crap is really bringing out the worst in folks when the tragedy should be bringing out the best and drawing people together. That may be the warmest, fussiest thing I've ever posted on FR.

I have always given very genrously to the American Red Cross. I sent an addition donation of considerable size on 12/26. Go shine your wooden shoes and stick a finger in a dyke and leave Christians alone. Christian aid groups are all over this diaster with help.

The US provides roughly 40% of TOTAL AID for the ENTIRE WORLD.
We're stingy? I think not. The comparisons based on taxes paid or percent of GNP are POOR MEASUREMENTS since our GNP dwarfs that of most other countries. We also provide loads of private funding through religious and other charitable organizations. As for funding dollars not coming though sometimes, if you want to blame somebody, blame Congress.
I'm so sick and tired of the Euroweasels and others complaining about the most generous and welcoming country on the planet, the USA.

ZOT!® 'em, M. They're ringers.

The US' donations are up to $350mm, and likely to go to $1 billion before all is said and done, and teezle is still using two-day old numbers.

Let's leave Muslims vs. Cristians and Iraq BS aside for once and think about the 120.000 or so deaths and people affected...

Yeah, we wouldn't to let politics get in the way of hypocritical, anti-American, moral superiority pretenses.

Your the poster-child for Euroweenies. (I mean that in the nicest possible way of course.)

There's no doubt, they're both trolls. I can't believe teezle has lasted as long as he has with that kind of comments.
